Illustrated by
Jenny Mattheson.
Mrs. O'Leary's cow sparks trouble in this expanded version of the song "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" (likely better known to grandparents than to kids). Mattheson's bright oil paintings help mitigate the scary situation ("and as the flames crept near, / We feared that she would roast"); thanks to some brave firefighters, the barn is the only casualty.
